Deepest condolences to @RoyalFamily . The Queen was a true inspiration and it has been a privilege to serve. Our flag flies at half mast at the British High Commission in Canberra.

🇬🇧 🇦🇺 cooperation on law enforcement, tackling illicit finance and organised crime makes both countries safer. Great to host Home Office Permanent Secretary Matthew Rycroft in Canberra, Sydney & Brisbane to further share experiences and deepen our joint work on these issues.

A pleasure to host Commonwealth High Commissioners and other colleagues last night to celebrate Commonwealth Day earlier this week. Commonwealth values of freedom, peace and democracy are always important, but rarely more so than now.

So many great climate and COP26 related events - great to be part of the panel for this fascinating and interactive discussion on the future of electric vehicles. Zero emission transport so important for the climate. Brilliant to hear about the latest innovations…

Tackling illicit finance is both hugely important and requires extensive international cooperation. Extremely grateful to have the opportunity to give evidence to the Australian Senate Inquiry on how 🇬🇧 and 🇦🇺 are combining to tackle the evolving threats.
It was an honour for Deputy High Commissioner @NickCrouch and Illicit Finance Lead @EdKitt to provide evidence in support of the @AuSenate Inquiry into Anti-Money Laundering yesterday. A robust response to illicit finance is a cornerstone of the 🇬🇧🇦🇺relationship.

Deepest condolences to HM the Queen and the Royal Family. A great loss.
It is with deep sorrow that Her Majesty The Queen has announced the death of her beloved husband, His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. His Royal Highness passed away peacefully this morning at Windsor Castle.

Fascinating and wide-ranging discussion with Japanese colleagues the day of the UK’s Integrated Review publication. Perfect timing to get into the details of the UK’s Indo Pacific Tilt 🇬🇧🇯🇵
Excellent working lunch with #Japanese colleagues today, a perfect reflection of the UK's #IntegratedReview & our #IndoPacific tilt. HE Shingo Yamagami & I with our respective teams covered a broad waterfront, comparing notes & scoping areas of collaboration & #partnership. 🇬🇧 🇯🇵
